Public workers receive subpoenas at work
Wisconsin requires work-address service for subpoenas involving testimony about official duties or actions within the scope of employment. This covers law enforcement officers, tribal law enforcement officers, public officers, and public employees. At work, the subpoena can be shown and read aloud, handed to the witness, or left as a copy. These rules also apply in criminal cases, overriding conflicting service rules. In criminal cases, covered witnesses use their employer’s street address instead of their home address. Other individuals generally use their residential street address. Participants in Wisconsin’s address confidentiality program use the address assigned by the Department of Justice.
